Hi guys!
I'm pretty sure that many of you have been experiencing difficulty on making other people aware of cryptocurrency and how it works, right? I myself find it hard to explain it even to my own family. Once you mention it to them, the first thing that comes to their mind is that it's a scam. Can't blame them though because the news about crypto scams are always hyped in social media and believe me, even my 70 year old mom has Facebook!

Anyway, I realized that this is the case because there has never really been any formal education about it at all. We knew about it only thru word of the mouth right and we only got to learn it slowly thru experience. This said, I'm thinking, what if it's taught in schools? Perhaps just start with those taking Accountancy or Banking and Finance courses to begin with, then eventually incorporate it to Mathematics subject or whatever in High School? After all, they were able to do that with banking, right? Why not with cryptocurrency? What do you think?
I totally agree when it becomes a subject and teach the student how cryptocurrency works and on whats the goodness of earning money in here not by only earning but all of the features that crypto have. I think its better to be taught and inclined in the subject economics since cryptocurrency can help economy of a certain country.
That's right. At least include in courses related to finance. Other than Economics course, it's could also be included in other courses  like accounting, business administration and more. It's a great foundation for the future of the next generation who might be interested in investments and businesses.


Good idea, it's time for schools to provide an easy and safe way to make payments, I'm sure if the school uses crypto then there will be many benefits that can be obtained.
That's right. Not only that, they will also learn how to invest and how blockchain works with cryptos because I believe that they should be taught together. The future will be dominated by blockchain and cryptocurrencies and everyone needs to be prepared for it. It will be great to have the learning taught in school so that the younger generation already knows about it when they become adults.
